Neural Interface - Next generation UI

Slashdot has run a article on two start-up companies that are developing a Neural interface to games. In layman terms, it will make possible to control a video game using your thoughts and not some physical device like keyboard or a joystick.

I say this is really cool stuff. With this technology, think of possibilities, running a pilot-less reconnaissance aircraft in a enemy territory sitting in safety of your command center. A medical surgery being performed by someone thousands of miles away for the patient by controlling the robotic arm by thought over the internet and the list continues.... Cool huh?
